Over the last week I have replaced all the windows on my Ericson 27. I had tried repeatedly to stop the leaking, and as a result of total frustration opted to replace them. The method I chose was to template the windows, and have a company in Seattle cut replacements from Lexan. I am happy to say that not only do the new Lexan windows look awesome, not a drop of water is getting in (this is Seattle after all). Including parts and labor, the total cost of the new windows was about $180. The holes for the bolts were pre-drilled, and it took about an hour per window to install them. It was incredibly simple, and really only required me to put down a bead of silicone and bolt the window to the boat. If anyone has any questions about this cheap and effective method for replacing windows, please send me an email. I have digital pictures that I would be happy to send.
